Hello! Here is something refreshingly different from me this week: I'm sharing my recipe for a cool drink to have at your side as you crochet this summer! As I type this, it's a rainy Wednesday morning, but we have actually had a few warmer days lately here on the east coast of Scotland, let's hope there are more to come! Anyway, here's my simple recipe, I hope you like it!
Cucumber & Mint Infused Water:
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time: 1 hour + (the longer it chills, the stronger the flavour)
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
Small handful of mint leaves
1 liter of water
Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
Wash and gently bash your mint leaves.
Pop the sliced cucumber and mint leaves in a jug.
Pour in about a litre of water and stir gently to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
To serve, fill a glass with the infused water and add ice cubes (if you like!).
This delightful drink is not only light and hydrating, but the subtle flavours of cucumber and mint add a touch of spa-like serenity to your crafting session. Plus, it's incredibly easy to make – perfect for whipping up a jug in the morning to have on hand for an afternoon of crochet in the garden. So, make up a jug, choose your latest crochet WiP (possibly the hardest part of this whole process!), and enjoy!
Until next week, happy crocheting,
Marta xx
